Time passed swiftly, and soon it was the second year after the war, that is, 1915.
Although the Australasian Army arrived on the battlefield in October of last year, and although the British and French forces had achieved significant success in the Marne River Battle, and although Germany had just suffered a crushing defeat, the Western Front was still a war of attrition. Even though Germany had shown signs of weakness, defeating them would still not be easy.
War is a massive war of attrition in any era.
Although the Australasia Expeditionary Force had been in Europe for only two months so far, there had been more than 82,000 casualties among the colonial troops, over 3,000 of which were in the Fourth Division, which demonstrated the brutality of this war.
Thanks to the exaggerated equipment of the Australasian Army, the actual consumption of weapons and ammunition was even more exaggerated.
